I don't think you understand what goes into collectors value. Its availability, and desire. Nintendo products are always highly sought after years later. Then factor in its units sold, physical games sold, the possibility of a collectible controller and you have a recipe for a collectors item. Everything you're saying is only making it more valuable. When I say 'This is why', I'm referring to it having fantastic exclusives. Did you see me mention other consoles? I didn't. You're reaching on that one. I couldn't care less about the PS4 or Xbox One. They don't factor into Wii U's collectibility. Here. Let me quote me.

Never once did I say a word about PS4 or Xbox One. Take them out of this whole conversation. The real conversation will be Wii U collectibility vs Saturn, or Dreamcast. I get you wanna talk about Wii U in modern console terms, but that flew out the window a while ago. Wii U will end up being a bigger collectors item because of less units sold. Less games sold, less peripherals sold, and a controller that if broken, ruins the whole system. These factors alone means that Wii U ends up trumping Gamecube. And as far as those 90+ rated games go, they were great. But their collectors value is already set and if they were rated today, most of those games would be rated lower. Last I checked, the most expensive thing on GCN was the component cables. Wii U already had games reach over $100, and Wii U is still on the market. I wouldn't be shocked in the least if the gamepad ends up selling for $200 or more years down the road. There's just too many things that scream that Wii U will end up being a goldmine for collectors. 

GC had solid third party support, and yet almost all best selling games were exclusives. Of Course, I will also choose a PS4 over X1 because of Uncharted, Bloodborne, God Of War, Last Of Us...but majority of people don't care about those games, they care about GTA, Call Of Duty, Fifa, PES, Star Wars, Battlefield, NBA, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Minecraft...like I wrote, this gen 3rd parties are strongen than ever before, and despite people buy Nintendo platforms for theire exlusives on first place, Nintendo needs them and can't have successful platform without them.

no its not. PS4 and XB1 have a lot more better games than the WiiU. their libraries crush that of the WiiU. 

But don't you know? Shokio says none of these count! O.O

The Wii U has a lot of true exclusives, though. But if we're talking about games the competitors don't have, PS4 has them all beat with a massive number of Console- and Brand- exclusives.

This is an embarassment considering that Wii U is the weakest homeconsole Nintendo library.

The author leaves so many points aside that the comparison, even if true, is completely irrelevant

Besides, what's with adding hirule warriors and smash and leaving out psvita/ps4 exclusives? Anyway, even with this criteria I think ps4 Will catch up this year or next

Well, I'm glad they at least they provided a list of games to back up their claim, and while there may be more exclusive games on the Wii U than both PS4 and XBO combined (at least according to this), whether they interest people or not is another story. What if people don't like most of Ninten's games. That pretty much drops interest in the system. And if we look at the entire libraries of all 3 consoles, it's no surprise why the Wii U is doing poorly.

It's a nice way to look at the Wii U, but doesn't speak of the whole picture.

I know they do IMO opinion that is anyway. But it still boggles my mind that Nin(as usual) has so many "top rated" exclusive games yet the system sells are not there. Just shows how important 3rd party games are.

For every 1 "top rated" exclusive the wii u gets, it misses out on 4 "top rated" games by third party companies. People know this, which is why they don't buy the wii u.

This is why I have a problem with these "exclusives" list. Because they miss the bigger picture
